Question

In a 10 m2 ecosystem, there are 20 raccoons. The population density of raccoons is _____. 2 per m2 4 per m2 10 per m2 20 per m2

Answer 1

2per m2 thats your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, $2\frac{Racoons}{m^2}$

Explanation:

The Population density of any species in an ecosystem is equal to the number of that species living in one unit of area.  

Therefore, population density can be represented as  

$\frac{Total population }{Total area of habitat}$

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

$= \frac{20}{10} \frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\= 2 \frac{Racoons}{m^2}$
